TL;DR: The simulation results emphasized the complexity of selection for drought tranrance caused by the many plant processes involved, the contrast between instantaneous and cumulative reactions and the strong genotype × environment interaction for drought tolerance.

TL;DR: Interactions between cytokinin metabolism, Rubisco and protein levels, photosynthesis and plant nitrogen partitioning were studied in transgenic tobacco plants showing delayed leaf senescence through a novel type of enhanced cytokinIn synthesis, targeted to senescing leaves and negatively auto-regulated (PSAG12‐IPT), thus preventing developmental abnormalities.

TL;DR: It seems that the yield of oilseed rape was more source-limited during grain filling than that of wheat, particularly at the medium and high N levels, while wheat produced comparable amounts of biomass and yield when corrected for the costs of biomass synthesis (SC).

TL;DR: It is shown, with the use of the stable isotope (13)C and a laser-based measuring technique, that there is no evidence for substantial aerobic methane emission by terrestrial plants, maximally 0.3% of the previously published values.

TL;DR: In contrast to previous grassland models, LINGRA describes regrowth after defoliation in a mechanistic way, balanced by temperature-driven remobilization of stored carbohydrates.
